Recently a lot of Priests have been busted with Child Porn and molesting little boys, because of their high standing within their community and the catholic religion itself they don't seem to be being punished. Do you think Priests are above the law.


 
Why would be priest be above the law?

Show me all the cases you found of them being busted with CP.
 
NO one is above the law.
Not even govern officials.
But, in some cases they are given a lot of leeway.
 
Um Definitely not.
Just because someone "Claims" To be "Holy" doesn't mean they are.
There are also many different types of views among people, so the way one person thinks isn't the same as someone else in terms of Religion.
My personal opinions are this, Priest are like Clowns, Stay the F$%@ Away.
 
Priests are not above the law. They are also just normal people but they are supposedly "holy". They should not get extra treatment just because they are priests. They should get the same treatment as anyone else who would have done that crime.
 
Police:"Dude you raped a child"
Priest:"I'm a priest"
Police:"Oh thats alright then, Bye."


Can you really see that happenning? Nobody is above the law.
 
^
haha epic LOLs , i can so imagine that happening
OT: I believe the priests arent above the law but they do get off because they are priests.
 
They are and aren't. Priests can get away with a LOT of things us 'peasants' couldn't get away with. I wouldn't say, but i would

But i agree they are above the law. MY view.
 
If it was the priests fault, police are more inclined to think other wise and blame the other person who is innocent. Thats my view, as i have seen it happen to my dad who was fined $100 dollars for being hit in the back of a car. Police didn't examine, or even take my dad to court, it was an upfront fine. That is why i believe they are above the law and why i have no interest in religion of the catholic eyes
 
it is true, some get away with it ,but, I find it disgusting. Im a homophobic towards guys ... that an im terrified of being kidnapped and raped. So I think any person even accused with a little bit of proof should be put away
 
Tbh they're not above anything..Being honest they're only higher in the Catholic Community, Nothing more,

You don't need to be scared of a 70+ Year old gown wearing paedophile lol. They won't hurt you lol they just read a book..
 
I believe in some ways they are thinking that they can touch little boys/girls and get a way with it.
 
Priests are definitely not above the law they just have a couple things working on their side.

1) The statute of limitations has often expired by the time the priests are accused. This means that after a certain amount of time has passed, the priests can no longer held responsible by law for their actions.
2) There is often no evidence. In 99% of the cases that we see, the accusers have no evidence except their word which is not enough to obtain a conviction.
3) All a priest has to do is hide within a church and he cannot be arrested. It is law that no one can be arrested in a religious establishment without the consent of its owner. Thus, a priest hides in his own church and refuses to give consent for his own arrest.
 
Religion gets its own way too much, if they are above the law ima rage.
 
No, priests aren't above the law. There have been plenty of priests arrested for these acts, just different cities will give different circumstances.
